Treat this property as a business and factor in all the associated expenses, including mortgage payments (if you pull a loan), maintenance, and potential vacancy periods.To simplify management and make this less of a hands-on job, I’d strongly recommend working with a property management company.

Consult a CPA to ensure compliance with tax regulations and explore strategies that align with your goals, such as providing for your mom while managing tax implications effectively.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Top 3 reasons owners hire PMCs:1) No time to manage correctly2) No time to learn how to manage correcly: laws, documents, processes, etc.3) They're too nice and need someone to "save them from themselves"A good PMC can usually earn their fees by better managing the property/tenant than the owner, thereby:1) Increasing owners net profit2) Decreasing owner's time commitment, stress, headaches, etc.No matter what though, you should always plan to commit a couple of hours a month to manage your PMC.

Hi Melanie, I both own and manage in the area and to be honest, the market in Kissimmee/Davenport is tough right now unless you're willing to invest a lot of capital into high end theming. 

Hi, I was wondering if there's any good reliable places to market tenant in place + management in place properties. 

We live, office, and Property Manage in Queen Creek and love it!

I'm looking to gain momentum and scale fairly quickly.I'm going to try rentredi and quicken to manage the numbers.

If you don't want to manage the property at all, you are losing money on the management when small scale management is not hard at all with a little help.

Metron and Southern Water Management are two that we've been talking to.

Ease of management?
